Song lyrics Give mother my crown by Flatt & Scruggs

She labored so hard in this world below she didn't have things that most mothers know
Raising her children on a widow's small pay washing and ironing since dad passed away
I wanna go to heaven when this life is o'er I wanna be with Jesus on eternity shore
But if I've a crown coming when rewards go around
Please blessed Jesus give mother my crown
[ fiddle - dobro ]
I didn't realize it when I was a lad just how great a burden my mother had
Adoption was offered but mama said no
She raised us and taught us the right way to go
I wanna go to heaven...
